Summary
- Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles praised for game-changing impact.
- He's the only rookie with multiple 15+ rebound games.
- Murray-Boyles excels defensively and on the offensive glass.
Toronto Raptors' rookie Collin Murray-Boyles is rapidly establishing himself as a key contributor, drawing significant praise from head coach Darko Rajaković for his ability to influence games positively. Murray-Boyles consistently impacts the court with his defensive intensity and rebounding, often making crucial plays without the sole focus on scoring.
His recent performance highlights include a remarkable 17-point, 15-rebound, three-assist, three-steal, and three-block outing in an overtime victory. This makes him the sole rookie this season to record multiple games with 15 or more rebounds. He is also demonstrating strong offensive rebounding, which the coach noted as a developing trend benefiting the team.
Despite being a recent addition, Murray-Boyles has stepped into a starting role for the past five games due to an injury. During this period, he has averaged impressive statistics, including double-digit points, significant rebounds, and contributions in assists, steals, and blocks, proving his value on both ends of the court.
